JPG to PDF

To combine photos into one PDF, add your JPG or PNG images, put them in order and choose the page size, orientation and margins. Each image gets its own page, scaled to fit without stretching or cropping, and JPEGs are embedded without re-compression, so quality is unchanged. The PDF is built in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Files never leave your device

How to use JPG to PDF

  1. 1Add your JPG or PNG images — you can select several at once.
  2. 2Reorder them with the arrows until the sequence is right.
  3. 3Choose page size, orientation and how much margin you want.
  4. 4Press Create PDF and download.

How it works

Each image is embedded into the PDF in its original encoding wherever possible, so a JPEG stays a JPEG and is not re-compressed. The page is then sized according to your settings and the image is scaled to fit inside the margins while keeping its aspect ratio, so nothing is stretched or cropped.

Choosing "Match image" for page size makes every page exactly the size of its image, which is the right choice for scanned receipts or screenshots. A fixed size such as A4 or Letter is better when the PDF will be printed.

The file is read into your browser's memory, changed there, and handed straight back to you. Nothing is uploaded, so there is no queue and no copy sitting on a server afterwards.

Tips and common mistakes

  • Choose “Match image” for receipts and screenshots, so each page is exactly the size of its picture. Choose A4 or Letter when the PDF will be printed.
  • Crop and straighten photos first with Crop Image and Rotate Image — a tidy page starts with a tidy photo.
  • If the PDF must be small, shrink the photos with Compress Image before adding them. JPEGs are embedded exactly as they are, so their size carries straight into the PDF.
  • Photograph documents flat, from directly above, in even daylight. The PDF can only be as readable as the photos in it.

Frequently asked questions

Does it reduce my photo quality?
No. JPEG images are embedded exactly as they are, with no re-encoding, so the pixels in the PDF are the pixels in your original file.
Can I mix JPG and PNG files?
Yes. Both formats can be added in the same batch and each is embedded in the format best suited to it.
How do I change the page order?
Use the up and down arrows next to each file in the list. The PDF is built in exactly the order shown.
Why is my PDF quite large?
Because the images are stored at full quality. Run them through the Compress Image tool first if you need a smaller PDF.
Can I add iPhone HEIC photos?
Convert them to JPG first with HEIC to JPG, then add the JPGs here.
Does each image get its own page?
Yes, one image per page, scaled to fit inside the margins without being stretched or cropped.
Can I leave a border around each photo?
Yes. Set the margin before you create the PDF; it applies to every page.
